In short, 'twas his fate, unemployed or in place, sir, To eat mutton cold, and cut blocks with a razor.

Kingdoms by thee, to sickly greatness grown, Boast of a florid vigour not their own. At every draught more large and large they grow, A bloated mass of rank unwieldy woe ; Till sapped their strength, and every part unsound, Down, down they sink, and spread a ruin round.
